Causes of Infertility
Causes of infertility can be related to the female or male.
Male Infertility
Male Infertility results from an ability to produce sufficient motile sperm for fertilization. If there are no sperm (azoospermia) or very few (oligospermia) then the couple will usually need to use Artificial Insemination or a technique like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) to conceive. If the sperm have defective tails or some other major abnormality then natural conception will be impossible. Most severe problems are caused by abnormal genes or chromosomes.
Female Infertility
Total female infertility results from either tubal damage or some condition (usually genetic or chromosomal) that permanently inhibits ovulation. There could be an absence of eggs or some other developmental defect. however, however if there is difficulty getting pregnant but no tubal damage and there are cycles of some sort, whether long or irregular or low in mucus or they don’t match temperature charts or you can’t detect ovulation with home kits, it is very likely that the problem can be addressed by changes in lifestyle.
